2 Stop 2 of 9 on Death Avenue to the High Line

Gansevoort Street

Chelsea / Meatpacking, New York City

A Preview

"Gansevoort Street. Look down. Those stones under your feet — the bumpy ones, in the street — are Belgian blocks. Laid in the eighteen hundreds. They're still here because the city landmarked the neighborhood in two thousand three and you can't rip them out. But the reason they're bumpy, the reason nobody ever smoothed them flat, is that smooth cobblestones get slippery when they're wet."
